It's not my cup of tea, I think i'm too old to appreciate this whole 'slammed' thing. The alloys look quite nice, although I still think I prefer the originals or RS6's.

Cars are a very personal thing when it comes to modding, like most on here I prefer the more OEM look, and the subtle extras which enhance the original design (which to be honest is what I love about the car and why I bought it - out of the box its one very sexy, stylish car)

I know its me, and I know it's not very constructive, but I always think cars that have had this kind of treatment tend to end up looking abit cheap.

Only my opinion mind, and like I say I'm old before my time!

RS4 B7 2006 Phantom Black with Titan alloys and mirrors - GONE :(

Thanks Klauster

I do appreciate how everyone who is not that keen have put it nicely,rather than what the hell :lol:

I agree the rs4 is a stunning looking vehicle out of the box,as you probably are aware i am big into the show scene and run a club
for like minded people.
I absoloutely love how it looks now,even more aggressive if that is possible lol,I will continue with the mods and will also be careful
not to ruin what audi created.
Another factor is i did similar to my b5,i kept most of the original parts so when i come to sell i can put it back to near standard.


Thanks for your input :beerchug:

Me neither, plus there's the issue of "sleeping policeman" to deal with. On the entrance road to work there are 8 sleeping policeman, all very large as it''s a 20mph zone - any car slammed this much will be left stuck on top of some of them with wheels dangling in mid air.

The good thing abouts Jules system is that the ride height can be adjusted while on the move :thumbs:

They're either 360 Forged or ADV.1 - those concave wheels were designed by the same design house, they've just been rebadged (I'm pretty sure those wheels on the B7 RS Daytona are 360 Forged Concave Mesh), either way, both packages are custom order. Be mindful that certain off-sets will not look very concaved at all.

Personally, I prefer the Concave 10s (see linkys below).

ADV.10 Deep Concave

360 Forged Concave10

If you like 'em, I'd recommend a trip to the ADV.1 German dealers, mucho savings to be had.
Also, Vossen do a cheaper 'Deep Concave' wheel... the VVSCV2

Jules - your car looks superb, as always.
No matter where you go, there you are.
